Pass Interference on a Scoring Play?

[Texas Aggie]

Imagine my surprise that there was no provision in NCAA rules to eject a coach unless he makes inentional contact with an official.

Actually, there is: its called a fight, though admittedly that would be very unusual.

under NCAA and NFL rules, the penalty would be declined. Only personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties can carry over.

Can't speak to NFL, but ALL NCAA dead ball fouls (or live ball fouls treated as dead ball fouls) carry over; not just PF/USC. Plus, there's no specific provision for USC fouls -- if live ball, they fall under the rules governing all other live ball fouls. If dead ball, after the TD, then they conform to dead ball fouls.

I bring this up because there are too many that group USC and PF's together. They are NOT the same and have very different enforcement procedures (no auto first down for USC, for example).

Carryover for DPI is just dumb, in my view. Fed needs to change that rule. While DPI should be considered different than, say, holding, it isn't a personal foul and shouldn't be grouped similarly.
